Wheels are 16X8's, tires are gForce BFG's 245-50-16. I'll take a pic of the whole car and post soon. Wheels were bought through Performance Wheel Outlet in Ca. I made the centers by grinding flat some domed cobra centers and applied 84-87 wheel centers. I think the wheels were called Vortec Z's #290.
